New York's Hot 97 has canceled this year's outdoor Festival Stage performances for its annual Summer Jam event.

Due to weather concerns, the radio station has eliminated the outdoor portion, which was expected to feature performances from Chance the Rapper, Tory Lanez, Post Malone, Desiigner and more.

The indoor stadium show will take place as planned, with performances by Future, Big Sean, Pusha T, DJ Khaled, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, Travi$ Scott and others.

Hot 97 notes that "further delays are possible" depending on the weather, but they will continue to monitor the forecast. Earlier today, New York's Governors Ball Music Festival canceled its entire Sunday lineup, which included Kanye West, CHVRCHES, Death Cab for Cutie and many more.

At press time, the doors for Summer Jam at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, are still set to open at 8:30 p.m.

Update: As of 5:40 p.m. EST, Summer Jam is advising fans waiting outside of MetLife Stadium to take shelter due to a pending storm expected to be in the area between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
